Mr., Blaine's Bid.

Mr.. Blaine sent counter-message, by
cable, to the New York Tribune. His
plan Of managing the surplus would be
to reduce it by the repeal of the tobacco
tax and to spend the rest. He would re-.

American Congressman or Senator would
not know how to read the bill OF fare at

A Fascinating Detective.

a dashing young clerk In q brokers
office recently had some experience with
pretty, yivacious girl attached to apiv9e
detective bureau. >He was living :ats
more rapid gait than his salary warranted.
After two male detectives had failed to
get into the young swell's confidence, the
pretty operator took the case. 1t was O
delicate, not to say hazardous, undertake
ing, The most difficult step was making
the clerk'sL acquaintance without exciting
his suspicious, but she accomplished that
by buying some stocks and opening all
account in the office. After few visits
and an. encouraging smile or two, the
clerk suggested visit. to. the, theatre.
The invitation was accepted and the lady,s
address given, and after that there were
champagne suppers, the opera and a gen.
eral good time. The fact that the young
man was spending too much money was
soon evident, and one evening he called at
his charmer's boarding house to learn that
she had gone away, leaving no message or
address.
But in the course of the investigation
the pretty detective had also discovered
that the culprit was generous chap and
not bad fellow in the main, although
rather reckless, and she had begun to like
him more. .than-she cared to own to herself.
So she induced the broker to promise that
he, would make no public exposure, but
would tell the culprit of the error of his
course and give him chance to make
restitution. That rapid young man is not
yet aware that his detection and his par
don were both due to the mysterious and
fascinating speculator in stocks 5who
shared his champagne suppers and;sud-
denly disappeared. New York Cor.

A Lucky Decorative idea.

One of the most successful flakes" ever
worked in the artistic line was by a young
Pittsburg engraver in Chicago. He was
out of money and out Of work. 1t was
several years ago, just at the beginning
of the decorative art craze. Ono day he
was passing shell storo with q friend
when an ilea struck him. He was con-
siderable of an artist rs well MS an en-
graycr. He went in and proposed to the
proprietor to take some Of the shells and
paint little landscape in each and sell
them for mantel ornaments.
The shrcwd old proprietor said that the
thing would catch the popular fancy and
finally arranged to pay 81 piece for
painting them. They took a dozen of the
Shells home and the pictures suited the
old man. The shell paintings had a great
sale, and in the next three months the
artists made a little over $1,000, and
didn't work very hard either. At the end
of that period competition cut the price in
half again and they went out of the bust
ness, but it was O great snap for the
amateurs while it lasted.-Pittsburg Dis

Toboccaninr in Canada.

Said O Canadian to scribe recently !:
Tobogganing is essentially Canadian
sport. Not because Canada is the land Of
winter SHOWS, but because Canadian life,
Canadian manners are not the manners OF
the states You may say all you please
about our slowness, our want of enter
prise; that we out-English the English in
our snobbishncss; still, the fact remains
that we manage to get great deal of en-
ioynaent out of life. OF course q great
deal is said about the fast life of Ameri-
cans; but believe with the majority the
trouble lies moro i'll the long hours OF
work in which you indulge. 1 can't see
where the rapid life comes in, unless it be
the slow, steady grind for 300 day in the
year. Now, tobogganing, like a great
many other of our sports, cannot bo
taken up Mt odd hours. To thoroughly
enjoy q tobogganing party one should
have the whole afternoon and evening;
and when you get into bed at night you
feel as if you had really been doing some
thing worth talking about. The average
Canadian works, as rulc about half the
day. The remainder is pretty well taken
up with sports Of some kind or another,
especially in wintcr.-Buffalo Express.

For Girls Who Play tho Piano.

A contemporary says tho world does not
know, much less does it reward, one-half
Of its benefactors. 1t is to be hoped that
better return than ingratitude will be-
reaped by the Stuttgart inventor-Schauz-
enbach By name-who has devised con-
trivance for deadening the sound of pi-
amos. This contrivance, to which the
simple name of "mute'' has been given,
consists of the application Of fine flannel
to the frame which is found between the
strings and hammers Of an upright piano.
Herr Schauzenbach claims that by the use
Of his apparatus, which, it is satisfactory
to read, Is inexpensive-sound can be
graduated almost to inaudibility, and yet
the quality of the tone is not lost. A trial
of the invention has recently been made
before company of musicians ut Stutt-
CART and the result appears to have been q
success. The piano mute having been in
vented, all that now remains to be done is
to secure for it as wide adoption as pos
sible.-EXchange.

give to two on the little 'un!''
Such were tho cries that greeted the
ears of q reporter as he passed the door OF
Cadillac square saloon and caused MIN
to turn back and enter. 1t was curious
sight that met his eyes. On the 1loor
were drawn two concentric circles With
chalk, one six, tho other about twelve feet
in diameter. Within the inner circle
stooped two men who held each teacup,
bottom upward, on the floor, their rims
IN contact and as near the middle of the
circle as possible. Between the inner and
outer circle stood a fashily dressed man
with an open watch in his hand and with
out the outer circle wero eighteen or
twenty excited spectators. .,
care you ready?" asked the man with
the watch.
"Wo are" answered they Of the cups.
Conc, two, three, go!' said the time
keeper.
The two men in the inner circle stimuli
taneously raised the cups and stepped be-
yond the line, revealing two cockroaches,
one considerably larger than the other.
The bugs seemed at first to be thoroughly
confused, running about in circles and
darting first in one direction and then in
another. Suddenly, however, tho smaller
roach took bee line toward the bar and
crossed the chalk line while the other in
sect was still seeking its bearings. The
greatest confusion prevailed, rs each
trainer dcftly covered his roach with a
cup and secured it, the captor OF the
smaller one eXclaiming:

silencing o Noisy TaIker

member that just one day before he was
taken i'll he was playing marbles in

evenly matched and the general was abb

Tho True Edible Birds Nest.

The true edible birds nest swiftlet is q
native of Ceylon and of the Malay region,
and it builds in caves where materials for
architecture are necessarily scanty or OIL
sea cliffs of inaccessible height. More than
most other swifts this tropical species is
g. confirmed high1yer, hawking for its
food around the submits of the noun
tains and much indisposed to settle on tho
ground upon any pretext. Hence it has
learned to carry to the furthest possible
limit the family habit of making nest
quite literally "all out Of its own head, :"
without the slightest extraneous aid of
any sort.
The best and c1eanest nests, which fetch
the highest price, are composed entirely of
pure mucus from the saliyary glands.
The material in its hardened state is
brittle; fibrous, white and transparent,
livery like pure gum arabic, or even
glass" and the inner lining consists of
nothing but small soft feathers. Inferior
nests, which command smaller price In
the Chinese market, are composed in part
Of dry grasses, hair and down, welded to-
gether by the fibrous, gummy secretion.
In short, as Mr.. Darwin blunhy puts it,
''The Chinese make soup Of dried saliva. !"
This sounds horrid enough, to be sure;
but when we ourselves give up coloring
jellies with defunct cochineal insects 1t
will be time for us to cast the first stone
at the Oriental cuisine. .-Cornhill Maga-

How a Joking Machine Works.

A young man of my acquaintance who
has always been considered an odd stick,
not because he lacks common sense, but
because he has strange habit of doing
things in his own way, told me that hav-
ing gone lately to live in q suburban town,
and being unable to read in the cars with
out injury to his eyes, he had hit upon the
following expedient for passing the time
on his journey to and fro. He sits apart
from his friends, apparently wrapped in
gloomy reflections, but really engaged in
concocting humorous paragraphs which
he sells. He has laid out his work quite
after the manner of Anthony Trollope,
sternly requiring of himself one joke for
every trip, and SO well does he succeed
that he very rarely fails on a Saturday to
post twelve items Of merchantable quality.
On Sunday of course he has holiday.
He told me also, and am curious to
know if the experience Of other profess
sional hIlmorists is the same, that the
business is done best in cloudy and stormy
weather. On q fine morning, he says, his
attention is distracted and he sometimes
reaches Boston quite jokeless; whereas in
q driving snow storm he often picks up
two and even three very fair paragraphs
during the journey, especially when the
train is little late. A succession of fine
days last month nearly ruined him, but he
expects to do very well in March and
April Post. -.
